Bin Laden urges Europeans to leave Afghanistan

"It would be better for you if you (restrained) your politicians who flock to the White House and worked actively to end the wrong done to the oppressed," he said.
"I am responsible" for the attacks on New York and Washington, the voice said.
Qatar-based Al-Jazeera aired a head shot of a smiling bin Laden wearing a white headdress of the type used by fundamentalist clerics.
"The truth, as I said before, is that the Manhattan events were in retaliation for the killing of our kinfolk in Palestine and Lebanon by the US-Israeli alliance and that I am responsible for them," the voice said.
"I affirm that the Afghans -- government and people -- had no knowledge whatsoever of these events and America knows that," since it captured and interrogated some ministers from the Islamist militant Taliban movement, which was ousted from power by a 2001 US invasion, AFP reported.
